Week 3

 WEEK 3

What is going on everyone? We'll get straight into it so here are the highlights for the week:

-I got sent to the corner in class
-Apparently they don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico
-I now know why a mission will be the hardest thing I've done so far in my life, I jammed my finger and it hurt really bad
Elder Anderson (azul) and I were undefeated in spikeball after 3 days of playing, then barely lost to the most insane spikeball player I've ever played against
-I had an encounter with an Elder and it was very interesting

So, in my Spanish class, when people talk out of turn, Hermana Cabrera (my teacher) has started sending them to the corner. Then during one of the Spanish classes my companion and Elder Anderson (azul) got sent to the corner for something, and it was really funny, so someone pulled out their phone to film, but Hermana Cabrera said no filming. However, it was really funny so I tried to be sneaky about filming them, but she saw me and sent me to another corner too. Then she forgot about me so I had to stare at the corner for probably 5 more minutes than I had to.

Oh yeah and my preach my gospel teacher, Hermano Lozano, said that Cinco de Mayo is just a regular day. My mind was blown.

Ok, so I was walking down the sidewalk and I see this Elder all alone reading, so I point him out to my district but he notices me pointing at him. Then he stands up and gets all defensive and tries to get in my face and he was like "What's your problem bro??" So I was like "What's your problem?" then I stare at him for a second, then I give him a chest bump and we part ways. Oh yeah his name was Elder Sorenson.

Also I guess I lied in my email last week, I said that the talk given by Elder Holland was only available at the MTCs around the world, well another Elder sent it to me so I have it on my phone now so shout out to him. 

Spiritual experience of the week:
I was saying my nightly prayer and right when I started I felt the spirit hit me really strong and for some reason it made me start breathing a little harder. At that exact moment I heard Elder Lord's right below me (we sleep on bunk beds) start breathing harder as well. Then after the prayer I asked him why and he said he felt the spirit too. So that was actually such a cool moment to have.

Anyway,





I think that's everything cool that happened this week at the CCM. Thank you guys so much for supporting me, it really helps knowing that I have a support team at home. I'll talk to y'all next week. Nos vemos.

Here are the highlights that I can remember from this week: -Guys the cockroaches in my apartment have learned to fly -Shout out to the Ellen Show for being fricken cracked at basketball  -I got the living freaking daylights scared out of me by a dog -Elder Baldwin broke 3 plates -We got a mini Christmas tree -We had the funniest encounter with this random dude on the street We were walking down a sidewalk that we go down a lot and it goes right by these houses and while we were walking by this massive pit bull like tried to jump through the fence like 2 inches away from my face and I genuinely was ready to die in that moment. So we run into this dude that's trying to sell us some stuff so we're kind of just trying to brush him off, then he starts asking us questions about like where we're from and why...

Highlights: -Aliens do in fact exist  -I made torta fritas for my district, and it was rough because they were explaining to  me  how to make them in Spanish and I had no idea what they were saying.  -Argentine Mother's day was yesterday so Happy Mother's day mom OK, the reason that I say aliens exist is because I heard a really weird noise in the sky, meaning it's got to be aliens We had a meeting with our district last  week  and my comp, Elder Baldwin, had us make this scone thing, called torta fritas I think, for the lesson. The whole thing was in Spanish tho so I don't really have any idea what's happening. Then he looks at  me  and asks something so I just say sí, and apparently he asked  me  if I wanted to be the one to cook them so I accide...
